Money is fungible, so de facto I got a lower price on my house by eating cheap ramen noodles for lunch.

Ability to get stickers is contingent on actually buying the CPU first. Buying ramen isn't contingent on first buying a house.

The post you replied to is saying "A rebate is de facto a discount."

Did you buy a batch load of ramen from the same supplier as your house?

A CPU is more essential to a computer than ramen for lunch is to a house.

Eating ramen noodles made home ownership more affordable for you.
